Re: RGP fit (tight vs. loose)

They almost always move towards low. They move somewhat slowly, so if
I blink often, they keep moving back up and the effect isn't as
pronounced. Towards the end of the day my eyes seem more dry and the
lens are more likely to stick between blinks. I just put them in this
morning and looked right away. They are riding a little low, but not
as low as after wearing a while. They also stay in place sometimes.

On one occasion I noticed a lens sticking a little high, so I get the
impression that the lenses move high when I blink, then start moving
down. Where they stop seems to depend on how "watery" my eye is at the
time.

One old technique for getting a lens to stay in place is to have it
stay tucked up under the upper eyelid. It may be that your upper lid
may actually be catching the upper edge of the lens, and then forcing
it down when you blink. As well, you may be only partially blinking,
which then never allows the upper lid to "capture" the lens and pull it
back up.


Thanks for the info. I'll probably schedule another visit. I hate
being the problem patient. I already moved on from my last eye doc
because I started getting a feeling of "eyes rolling" when I walked in
for repeated visits. Is RGP a specialized enough area that I ought to
seek out an expert if I want to be picky and really nail this? I see
so much promise for great vision with these if I could just solve these
few little issues.

Sounds like you should see an expert, although I'm not versed in how
you go about finding one. : )
